第三部分 阅读理解（共 20 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分） A Paula and Rory Ward have five kids, three dogs, and a rabbit. When the house is very noisy, Megan, one of the children, is quietly inventing. A year ago, the 10yearolds had to design an antismoking poster for a school project. Rather than a poster, she came up with the idea of creating something that shows the average amount of tar(尼古丁) a smoker collects from just four packs of cigarettes. “I like people to play with things more than read and write, ” she says. So she researched her idea on the Internet, found a company in China that could make it, saved up her pocket money and got her idea made. Paula says her daughter “thinks differently”: Ideas jump into her mind. After she got sunburnt on holiday, Megan invented a small plastic bracelet(手镯) that changes color in the sun, telling you when to put on sunscreen(防晒霜). Several sunscreen companies have expressed an interest in the idea. She also came up with an idea to make a ball filled with water to stop the dog from feeling thirsty. “But we didn?t do anything with it,” says Paula. Then she pulls out a picture of a special fishing rod(钓鱼竿) she has designed. “ There is a camera on the hook(钩), ” she explains, “and the screen is on the handle， and it shows you if you?ve caught a fish or not. ” Megan doesn?t want to go to university. She keeps her pink?and?cream bedroom tidy. Paula is amazed and a bit confused by her daughter. “Everything has to be in a certain order,” Paula says. “Her brothers and sisters go with the flow, but with Megan,

it?s ?What time will that be happening?? or ?Where am I being picked up from today?? ” 56. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that Megan ________. A. is not willing to go to school B. likes to play with her brothers sand sisters C. prefers making something by herself D. is good at reading and writing 57. What did Megan invent after she got sunburnt on vacation? A. The antismoking poster. B. The ball providing water for thirsty dogs. C. The fishing rod telling whether you?ve caught a fish. D. The bracelet telling when to put on sunscreen. 58. The underlined phrase “go with the flow” probably means “_______”. A. set an example to others C. follow the fashion closely B. do what most people usually do D. do something differently from others

59. According to the passage, which of the following about Megan is TRUE? A. She would like to keep everything in order. B. She is quite the same as her other four brothers and sisters. C. Her mother Paula doesn?t want her to go to university. D. Her parents always help her invent something special. B Babies who use many gestures(手势) to communicate when they are 14 months old have much larger vocabularies when they start school than those who don?t, US researchers said. They said babies with wealthier, bettereducated parents will probably sign more. This may help explain why some children from lowincome families perform less well in school. “When children enter school, there is a large difference in their vocabularies,” said the University of Chicago?s Meredith Row e, whose study appears in the journal Science. Gestures could help explain the difference, Rowe told the American Association for the Advancement of Science yearly meeting in Chicago. Vocabulary is an important predictor of school success. Earlier research showed that rich, educated parents tend to talk to their children more than poorer, lesseducated ones.

“What we are doing here is asking: Does this socialeconomic situation relate to gestures？Can that explain some of the difference we see at school entry(进入)? ” Rowe said. The researchers filmed 50 Chicagoarea children and parents from different economic backgrounds and counted the number of gestures, such as pointing at a picture. The team found that 14montholds from highincome, welleducated families used gestures to express about 24 different meanings during 90 minutes. Children from lowerincome families expressed 13 meanings. When the same children entered school at age four and a half, those from higherincome families had better vocabulary scores on standardized tests. “At 14 months, an age when there aren?t even social?economic differences in their talk yet, we see there are differences in their gestures,” Rowe said. The videos found that parents from wealthier families gestured more with their children than the other parents. Rowe said the findings suggest that gestures can at least partly explain vocabulary differences between the groups, and may prove useful as the basis for interventions(干预). “Can we control how much parents and children gesture，and if so, will it increase their vocabulary? ” Rowe asked. 60. When is the best time for the parents to communicate with their children using gestures? A. When their children start school. B. When their children are fourteen months old. C. When their children are four years old. D. When they become rich and welleducated. 61. The underlined word “difference” in Paragraph 4 refers to the difference in children?s ________. A. performance B. income C. education D. vocabularies 62. In the research, the researchers want to find ________. A. whether the socialeconomic situation relates to gestures B. how many meanings children can express using gestures C. what kind of children perform the best at school D. who can help the children from lowincome families 63. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Parents should be the first teachers of their children.

B. Babies from different families speak differently. C. Parents must teach themselves at first. D. Babies who gesture develop bigger vocabularies. C As a kid, I was always chubby (圆胖的).

But what motivated me to get serious about it was turning 30. I weighed 414 pounds. I was always tired. Some of my family members have suffered from heart disease, and I was scared. I also wanted to look better. So after my birthday, I walked into the office of a weight- doctor. loss She was very understanding. Her focus was on balanced meals and she wanted me to exercise. Walking was all I could do at first. I started by walking a few blocks and gradually increased the distance, until one weekend, I found myself saying, “Wow, this seems pretty easy.” So I started to run. I was losing nine or ten pounds a month, and I had more energy. I started to think about the New York City Marathon. For years, I watched the runners and thought, “This looks like fun, but I could never do that.” But now I realized that maybe I could. I joined the New York Road Runners. I ran a 10 K, then a half?marathon. I still wasn?t confident I could run a full 26 miles. But I told myself I was going to do it, no matter what. By my 33 rd birthday, I was down to 180 pounds. I started formally training for the marathon. And on the morning of November 1, I stood on the Verrazano Bridge in Staten Island with more than 40,000 other runners, waiting for the event to start. It was unbelievable to have the audience cheering me on, handing me cups of water. And I crossed the finish line. My friends sprayed(喷射) me with beer, as if I?d won the Super Bowl. And at that moment, I knew: If I set my mind to something, nothing is impossible. 64. The underlined phrase “blowing up” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.

Miami?s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings! To use the chute and recycle too. In Shantzis? Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes. The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclable). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors? chute doors and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclable. Sorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective. 68. When he says “You won?t be for long”, the writer means that _______.
